I'd like to think the Town End would be redeveloped first, be good to see a single tier stand pushing further back towards the car park. Something similar to the end we were in at Fulham would be good (maybe not quite as big - say 4-5k). As Gazza points out a stand similar to the one at posh to replace the Arkells (make this the largest stand - say 8k). Make the bank a 3k covered end for the away fans......job done, a 20-21k ground would suit us fine. If for any reason we needed a bigger capacity in the future then the corners could be filled in and/or the DRS replaced.

But has it got a portcullis?
That, sir, is a great idea. Who doesn't like a good portcullis? |

A mate of mine went to Hibs recently and how they have redeveloped a couple of the stands at Easter Road would fit quite well in the County Ground footprint. I hope the floodlight pylons are retained as when you drive towards the CG for an evening game it makes a fantastic sight.
The Town End is where there is loads of space behind so it would have the capacity for building some form of entertainment venue, maybe on a smaller scale to what is at the Ricoh Arena. A concert venue, health club or casino could be easily incorporated. Went out in Nottingham for the Carl Froch fight and there are 2 or 3 casinos in the city centre so I think planning would be less of an issue.
The Stratton Bank is going to be the problem unless we can move the pitch towards the Townend and maybe round off the end with the Don Rogers, maybe that's a 3000-4000 end left for away fans if we have less room there.

I have been to the Djurgarden stadium (and the Rasunda National stadium) when in Stockholm a couple of years ago. It's the original 1912 Olympic stadium and has got wooden stands and seats but was a fantastic afternoons football. The Swedish fans are nutters and lots of Italian style flag waving and people standing on crash barriers with loud speakers |

Oooh, and can we have a moat, too? And a duck island to go in it? We wouldn't have to pay for them, even, Anne Snelgrove could whack them on expenses. |

I like the look of the Groningen one. I'm always a bit dubious about filled corners but that looks class. Looks like fans are right on top of the pitch which is always a bonus.

That is quite similar to PSV's ground which is very tidy. At 35k capacity would be probably too big (and I guess we wouldn't be able to afford the massive heaters in the roof) but its a pretty tidy blueprint. |
